If Betty, the commander of the British Home Fleet, and Scheer, the commander of the German High Seas Fleet, were present and heard Liu Qinghui say such words, they would definitely ask Liu Qinghui at the same time, couldn't maritime powers build a large number of warships to maintain their tonnage advantage?
?
Then Liu Qinghui would definitely tell the two of them unceremoniously, no!
Because Liu Qinghui thought the same way many years ago, but after following Li Ningyu for more than ten years, he is no longer foolish enough to think that as long as he builds a large number of large warships and maintains an advantage in tonnage, he can dominate the world.
Because they all overlooked one trivial thing.
What is a large battleship? A mobile fortress on the sea!
Then it is natural to have offensive firepower and mobility, as well as comprehensive protection capabilities. The German Navy focuses on protection, and the British Navy focuses on firepower and mobility. However, they have forgotten one thing, that is, no matter how big the caliber of artillery is, there is no accuracy.
, everything is nonsense.
Because if you fire ten times and only hit the opponent once, so what if you have a 523mm caliber heavy artillery? Because the opponent uses a small 305mm cannon. Ten times it fires, it can focus on you five times. It is clear who is stronger and who is weaker.
.
Of course, the current naval battles do not have such high shooting accuracy. The British and German navies only have about 13% accuracy, but the Far East Navy can reach 45%. If it is stopped, it can reach an astonishing 100%.
Eighty percent hit rate.
Why the Far East Navy can achieve such outrageous accuracy must be thanked to one person. He is Deng Shichang. After he joined the Far East Navy, he imparted all his packing skills to the Far East Naval Academy without reservation.
students, and after several years of new additions and replacements, the average accuracy of the Far East Navy can now reach 50%.
This is why, in the last naval battle in the Far East, the Yellow Sea Fleet directly defeated the Tsarist Russian Navy. From the combat effectiveness of the two sides at that time, they were almost tied. However, the Far East Navy was fighting at home, coupled with various favorable factors, so Tsarist Russia
Only the navy could be defeated so quickly.
Of course, during the Sino-Japanese War of 1898, Deng Shichang had long been prepared to die with his warships, because after the war, he said this: Who will die? I hope our death is worthy and worthwhile! If we fight Japanese ships at sea
If we meet or encounter danger, I will sink into the sea with the battleship!
But in the end, it was Li Ningyu’s words that changed Deng Shichang’s mind, because Li Ningyu said this, even if Deng Shichang dies, it can only represent your personal patriotism, but have you ever thought that if you are alive, you can
If the church has many people, then you will not be the only one to fight the Japanese, but your sons, grandsons, great-grandchildren, and their descendants will all be able to fight the Japanese together!
Therefore, after the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1898, Deng Shichang served as an instructor in the Far East Naval Cadets for a long time.
At 15:30 on the afternoon of March 3, 1907, the Battle of Jutland gradually began to reach its climax, and the Royal Princess had been hit by two 12-inch shells fired by the German Derfflinger.
The shot hit the firing director in the command room, resulting in the loss of attack capability. The same fate also happened to the British battleship Tiger, which had bad eyesight.
At 15:45, Commander Betty, who found that the British Home Fleet was initially at a disadvantage, ordered the destroyer formation to join the torpedo formation to conduct a torpedo counterattack in order to gain fighter planes and combat time, and to change the temporarily unfavorable war situation.
Under the attack of two formations of British destroyers and torpedo ships, the British Queen Mary successfully hit the German Seydlitz, causing one of its turrets to lose combat effectiveness on the spot. However, the British battleship Queen Mary, which was seriously injured later, had already
It's completely a side shot.
However, the British Queen Mary continued to attack tenaciously, and then another shell hit the German Derfflinger, but this time luck no longer took care of it, and it was also hit by a shell from the German Derfflinger.
The position in the center was the ammunition bay. The Queen Mary began to explode and began to sink rapidly.
Because it was a big explosion that occurred in a short period of time, only a few of the 1,026 British officers and soldiers on the battleship survived. Maybe this is war, either you die or I live, and there is nothing to be sad about.
But after a while, the British battlecruiser HMS Lion was also hit. The flames rushed straight into the propellant storage warehouse. The 70 tons of gunpowder there exploded. The ending of the British Lion can be imagined, but this battleship only had one person.
Surviving officers and soldiers.
However, just after the German Hipper Squadron changed the balance of power between the two sides in twenty minutes, it began to go downhill after the round with the main force of the German High Seas Fleet.
At this time, Betty, the commander of the British Navy's Home Fleet, after receiving the loss of two battleships, had to use four already scarred battlecruisers to fight against the five ships of the German Hipper Squadron that had not yet been seriously damaged.
ships.
Although the first battle failed, British Betty firmly believed that as long as the fight continued, victory would only belong to Britain. After the British fifth battleship squadron was about to arrive, British Betty ordered the entire home fleet to turn 22 degrees to the left, with the purpose of desperately intercepting
It blocked the advancing route of the German Hipper Squadron and tried to use the entire British battleship squadron to encircle the Hipper Squadron.
Sure enough, after Betty gave the order, the speed advantage of the British Home Fleet was immediately reflected. After the three battleship squadrons arrived, they immediately began to use all 15-inch caliber artillery to fire rapidly from a distance of 19,000 yards.
The 381mm secondary battery shell of the British battleship Warrior directly hit the side battery deck of the Moltke, and the British Barham hit the German Tann, but the German Derfflinger had also attacked the Lion, Queen Mary,
Pulled out and turned to shoot the New Zealand.
Under the straddle formed by Derfflinger and Seydlitz, the second salvo hit the British Indomitable, and a terrible explosion occurred. Betty immediately ordered the flagship Invincible to
Two battlecruisers, the No. 1, went to support.
At that time, Betty, the commander of the British Navy's Home Fleet, could no longer care about the disadvantageous situation of his own ships. After ordering to continue approaching the German ships and firing fiercely, they still tried to destroy the German Hipper squadron first.
At the same time, when the British Admiral Jericho, who led another main force, learned that the forward troops had encountered Germany and were in a bitter battle, he immediately ordered the entire Grand Fleet to break away from the entanglement with the German High Seas Fleet and speed up the transfer.
This resulted in the 24 main battleships of the British Home Fleet, all moving at a speed of more than 21 knots, setting a high-speed record for a large battleship formation traveling together. However, the German High Seas Fleet also immediately dispatched the Third Battleship Squadron to support
Hipper Squadron.
